Sub-underground music from the last five or so decades

Following other stellar. top-to-bottom excellent pure-pop LPs I’ve totally fallen for this year by Veronica Falls and La Luz, the debut LP “Floristry” from Dunedin, New Zealand’s TRICK MAMMOTH is my new saccharine ringer.

I’m not sure if it’s more first-LP Teenage Fanclub or entire-career Look Blue Go Purple but their record’s absolutely worth a pickup if any of the aforementioned get your proverbial motor running. Meanwhile, here’s a video of the band live in NZ.
